A man goes to a rabbi and says, "Make me a Levi."
"I cannot," said the rabbi.
"Make me a Levi," he insisted. "I will pay you any price."
"I cannot," repeated the rabbi.
"I will give you $500,00!"
"I can't."
"One million," he upped.
The rabbi, exasperated, said, "I will look into it."
The rabbi then went to his ritual committee to get their advice. There was much consideration and argumentation before deciding to just give him the second aliya.
The rabbi returned to the man and asked, "Why do you want to be Levi anyway?"
"Well, my father was a Levi as was his father. I want to be one too."
It is an entertaining tale which reminds us, be an educated Jew.
